DWI suspected in crash that injured mother, two children, station reports

WWL-TV is reporting that police believe alcohol was a factor in a two-car Tangipahoa Parish crash Saturday that left a mother and two of her children hospitalized.

State Police say the collision occurred on La. 445, when 58-year-old Stephen Hebert turned left into the path of a car driven by Nicole Young, 35, of Ponchatoula. A breath test showed Hebert's blood alcohol level was over the limit, police said, and he is facing his second DWI, among other charges.

Young and her 5-year-old daughter and 14-year-old son were not wearing seatbelts, police said. Both children were seriously hurt and their mother could face charges for not having them properly restrained.
